Horrible Histories: The Movie - Rotten Romans

Roman teenager, Atti is forced to join the Roman army when one of his clever schemes falls foul of Emperor Nero. He is sent to "miserable, cold, wet Britain" where "the natives are revolting - quite literally". Things go from bad to worse when Atti is captured by Orla, a feisty teenage Celt desperate to prove herself as a warrior.
The cast give it their best but it's all a bit of a pantomime . The laughs aren't really there, the songs are pretty bad, and the script is weak. Still, as I said, the cast do their best, and they make this silly farce watchable.
